This Artist Used Plywood As The Canvas For His Incredible Creations. And the Result is Somewhat

The best art has the tendency to generate strong reactions from people who view it. For this Singaporean artist’s work, that reaction is usually “How in the world?!“. Ivan Hoo creates paintings that are so hyperrealistic, people are often shocked to learn that they’re not.

He uses a combination of pencil, pastels, and ink to create his works of art.

Perhaps the most unbelievable part is that he is completely self-taught.

“By working on wood, it gives me a lot of dimension and ideas to create something close to reality and it works really well with pastels, too.“
